A newly promoted side offered Gayle 6m in the championship. He surely is better and worth more than him. Norwich Bournemouth type sides he would offer veteran premier league experience and actual talent.
I was just thinking about this too. But it was mou who wanted him so the new guy might want a different CB. He will still be wanted by others, he's quality and Englishman and with the new FA rules he is valuable.
Honestly not worried either way. He's still a solid CB. Worst case he's a Rodwell and we make bank on the sale and when we play against him it ain't no thing since he's mediocre after all. If he is good and it's a bad patch he will come good and be worth more than before.
No clean sheets at Goodson this year. For all the good RM had done this is one of the things that pisses me off the most. Goodison should be our stronghold the place others fear to play us. Instead it's just another ground. We need to turn it back into our stronghold.
Lol I just meant in terms of making a statement in the league. After this we have Bournemouth and villa and to me are 6 points and anything but is a disappointment. West ham used to be the same but not this season, this will be a tough one I fear.
I couldn't agree more mc. I think if anyone needs cut loose it would be him this summer. Still has a lot to give and to a lower table side or newly promoted team he could be their 9 and grind out goals. 8m is quality for him.
I was surprised to see ossie come on and not Naisy. Ossie played midweek and got a lot of time and Naisy hasn't played in a while.
We've got some quality on the bench now. Mirallas Lennon Naisy baines
Agreed I mentioned this in the game day thread as well. Proper rotation with mirallas and Lennon should help him to play this campaign and the next one with the extension. Let's hope RM doesn't get trigger happy and exhaust him.
Spot on. The more we play quick movement and quick passes and put the ball in front the better. Kone can work with back to goal and I think that's why they compliment each other well.
Good point elston I could be okay with
Gerry Kone mirallas
Lukaku
And give Ross a rest. Keith baines and tom will be back but surely not match fit so just subs if anything.
I think this will be a big match for us. They are on the rise and have beaten a lot of the big boys. For us to try and do something in the league well need a win here I believe. Bilic has them playing really well and payet is easily the signing of the season for 12m. Lanzini cresswell sakho are all playing well too.
Robles
Coleman stones Mori Galloway
McCarthy Barry
Gerry Barkley Kone
Lukaku
Subs - mirallas Lennon Naisy
Which ones were the coolest?
Thanks Mike! Decent lineup I wonder why Oviedo is playing over Galloway? Is he injured?
I would like to see mirallas Lennon and Naisy get some time as well.
